REGULATIONS  CONCERNING  PERFORMANCES  IN 
THE  GREEK  THEATRE 

ADOPTED   BY 

THE    GREEK    THEATRE    COMMITTEE, 
UNIVERSITY   OF   CALIFORNIA. 


The  entire  control  of  the  use  of  the  Greek  Theatre  for 
dramatic  and  musical  purposes  and  for  "rallies,"  save  for 
the  Senior  Extravaganza,  the  Freshman  Rally,  and  the 
Football  Rally,  having  been  vested  in  the  Greek  Theatre 
Committee  by  act  of  the  President  of  the  University,  the 
committee  adopts  the  following  regulations  for  its  guidance. 

I. — The  chairman  of  the  committee,  with  the  consent  of 
a  majority  of  the  members,  may  arrange  for  the  production 
of  dramatic  and  musical  works  by  professional  performers. 
Only  performances,  by  artists  or  companies  of  recognized 
standing,  of  works  considered  to  have  educational  value  and 
to  be  adapted  for  production  in  the  Greek  Theatre  shall  be 
permitted.  Whenever  possible,  such  performances  are  to 
be  undertaken  upon  a  percentage  basis. 

II. — As  the  Sunday  "Half -hours  of  Music"  are  given 
by  artists  who  serve  the  University,  on  these  occasions, 
without  charge,  admission  to  these  concerts  shall  be  free. 
In  case  of  inclement  weather  the  Half-hour  of  Music  shall 
not  be  given. 

III. — Organizations  not  connected  with  the  University 
may  give  musical  and  dramatic  entertainments  in  the  Greek 


Theatre  only  with  the  unanimous  consent  of  the  committee, 
following  one  month's  notice,  the  conditions  of  presentation 
for  each  such  production  to  be  determined  by  the  committee. 

IV.— The  English  Club  is  permitted  the  use  of  the 
Theatre  for  one  dramatic  performance  each  semester,  the 
date  of  which  shall  be  set  by  the  committee,  provided  the 
play  be  given,  the  coach  to  be  engaged,  the  stage  plan  to  be 
adopted,  and  the  advertising  to  be  contracted  for  meet  the 
approval  of  the  committee,  and  provided  the  try-outs  shall 
be  conducted  under  the  supervision  of  the  authorized  coach 
in  such  a  manner  as  to  satisfy  the  committee  that  partici- 
pation in  the  plays  is  open  to  all  students  of  the  University 
without  favor.  The  Greek  Theatre  Committee  shall  control 
the  financial  management ;  all  purchases  must  be  authorized 
and  bills  passed  by  it;  and  all  profits  shall  pass  into  the 
University  Dramatic  Fund,  from  which  all  losses  shall  be 
paid.  The  name  of  the  play  to  be  presented  must  be  sub- 
mitted to  the  committee  one  week  before  the  end  of  the 
semester  preceding  that  in  which  it  is  purposed  that  th& 
performance  shall  take  place. 

V. — Other  student  organizations  shall  have  the  same 
right  to  present  amateur  dramatic  and  musical  productions 
in  the  Greek  Theatre  subject  to  the  several  conditions  above 
stated.  Departments  of  the  University  may  present  ama- 
teur dramatic  and  musical  productions  under  the  same 
conditions,  or  may  assume  the  entire  financial  control  and 
risk. 

VI. — No  advertisements,  save  notices  of  performances 
under  the  management  of  the  committee,  shall  be  permitted 
on  the  programme  of  any  entertainment  given  in  the  Greek 
Theatre. 

VII. — The  finances  of  the  committee  shall  be  operated 
under  four  funds :  The  Symphony  Fund,  the  Choral  Fund, 
the  University  Dramatic  Fund,  and  the  Greek  Theatre 
Fund. 


The  Symphony  Fund  is  established  by  guarantee,  and 
the  means  for  the  maintenance  of  symphony  concerts  shall 
be  derived  solely  from  such  guarantee  and  from  the  income 
of  said  concerts.  Money  is  not  to  be  transferred  from  the 
other  specified  funds  to  the  Symphony  Fund. 

The  Choral  Fund  is  established  by  guarantee  or  by 
specific  appropriation  by  the  University,  and  the  means  for 
the  maintenance  of  choral  productions  with  orchestra  shall 
be  derived  solely  from  such  guarantee  or  appropriation  and 
from  the  income  of  the  productions.  Money  is  not  to  be 
transferred  from  the  other  specified  funds  to  the  Choral 
Fund. 

The  University  Dramatic  Fund  is  to  contain  the  moneys 
derived  from  student  dramatic  productions  and  by  direct 
appropriation  by  the  committee,  and  such  funds  are  to  be 
conserved  strictly  for  the  purposes  of  student  dramatic 
performances. 

The  Greek  Theatre  Fund  is  to  contain  all  other  moneys 
Beyond  those  above  specified.  From  this  fund  the  committee 
will  maintain  the  equipment  of  the  Greek  Theatre,  and  con- 
duct the  professional  musical  and  dramatic  productions  that 
may  be  given  therein.  Money  may  be  voted  from  this  fund 
to  the  Library  and  to  the  University  Dramatic  Fund.
